The battle is won!

Applejack has learned the Earth Pony Might ability!

Earth Pony Might [+4 Dmg for 3 turn] (6 Magic)

>Twilight uses a cloth to clean the alien gore off of Applejack who looks pretty bashful about the whole thing. Guess the mare doesn't know her true strength yet.

>Behind a metal table at the rooms center is a large metal chest which lacks any sort of lock. The room is seriously covered in green gore so anything outside of the chest is probably ruined anyways.

What shall you do?

-Open the chest and pray the key to the big door is inside.

-Compliment Applejack's combat powers or talk with another party member (Twilight, Harold, Rainbow Dash, or Vinyl).

-Other…

Rolled 5, 5, 4, 3, 5, 5 = 27 (6d6)

>"Nice kick, AJ! I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that!" you compliment the apple farmer.

>"I could say the same thing for those fancy spell of your, Anon," Applejack smiles with a friendly wink.

>You open the chest and find a oddly shaped purple key, a fully functioning alien laser gun, 5 Might Health Potions, a Scroll of Paper, and a set of Crystal Horse Shoes!

>You place all the items in your inventory!

What shall you do now?

-Use the strange key on the large door.

-Head back downstairs and explore the lower level some more.

-Head back to camp before moving on. You need to rest up for what's next.

-Equip your party.

-Other…

You can give those horse shoes to a party member to wear. AJ has the same kind but Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Vinyl don't. Same applies to the laser gun.

I'm only halfway through the thread

Rolled 4, 1, 3, 4, 5, 4 = 21 (6d6)

>"You could use these," you say to Rainbow Dash as you hand her the shiny new horse shoes.

>"A little too Rarity for my taste, but if they'll help us on our adventure then I won't mind," Rainbow Dash says as she removes her old shoes and slips into the crystal ones. Apparently ponies in Equestria don't have their shoes nailed to their hooves like on Earth.

>"We should head back to the camp and get some rest. There's no telling what's waiting behind that door," you suggest.

>"Sounds like a plan. Let's get going!" Twilight nods.

>On the way back to the camp you give Harold the laser gun along with some pointers on how to use it safely. Vikings wielding laser guns is pretty metal. You also give Rainbow Dash two health potions to go along with her new shoes.

>After a few minutes of walking the camp finally comes into view. Dayflower is floating close to the entrance to the caves tunnel with a eager look on her face.

>"Anon! You're finally back!" Dayflower beams as she flies close and gives your face a hug.

>"What's going on Dayflower? Did I miss something?" you chuckle as Dayflower's buzzing wings tickle your nose.

>"It's Ellaina!" the Breezie smiles again. "She's awake!"

>You just about drop everything and charge off toward the camp but steel yourself for a moment.

How shall you reach?

-Be gentle with Ellaina. She just woke up from a long sleep.

-Run up to Ellaina and sweep her off her feet.

-Give Ellaina a hug and a kiss. Tell her how worried you were.

-Other…

This next part might take some time to write and edit so I'll have to update tomorrow. Sorry about the slow/crappy updates guys.

If you guys want to add anything onto this before tomorrows update then feel free to post. Suggestions on how Anonymous and Ellaina should interact would be great.

Couldn't post the image for some reason, guess I'll try again tomorrow.

>You make your way into the camp with the others following close behind. As you make your way toward the camp fire you see Ellaina, looking paler than usual but still just as radiant.

>As you approach, Ellaina looks over toward you and has the strangest look on her face, as is she just saw an angel appear before her very eyes. Her blue eyes begin to well up with tears as she stumble to her feet and takes off toward you. Ellaina jumps at you and wraps her arms around you as if a wild storm is threatening to rip you away from her while planting the most passionate, loving, kiss up your lips. You hear a few of your friends gasp at the display as you return the favor a thousand fold.

>After what seems like an eternity, the two of you break your passionate reunion kiss. You can hear Rarity blowing her nose in the background and Pinkie Pie cheering the two of you on.

What now?

-"I was so worried about you Ellaina. I don't know what I would have done if I lost you back there."

-"Come on, you need to rest." *gently carry Ellaina back to her seat*

-"I love you, Ellaina."

-Break into song to express your love for Ellaina (requires roll).

-Other…

Feel free to write in your own dialogue.

Rolled 5, 3, 1, 4, 5, 6 = 24 (6d6)

>"I was so worried about you Ellaina. I don't know what I would have done if I lost you back there," you smile down at Ellaina who's currently resting her head in your chest.

>"Probably something rash," Ellaina smiles up at you.

>"Heh, yeah," you say as you scratch the back of your head awkwardly.

>"I umm hope the two of you don't mind but Ellaina really needs to avoid physical activity for the time being," Fluttershy interjects timidly.

>"Fluttershy's right, Anon," Ellaina sighs. "I'm still pretty sore from that last fight and I have this strong tingling feeling in my right hand."

>"It's okay, I understand," you nod before helping the poor girl back to her seat next to the fire.

>"I'm just so glad you all made it back safe. Ellaina's been wanting to see you ever since she woke up, Anonymous," Fluttershy smiles warmly.

>"Well I'm back now and we have plenty of time to catch up," you smile back at the pegasus as you set Ellaina down on the log.

>The other party member gather around the camp fire and begin to dig into the meal Rarity made while you were gone. Unlike the previous suppers made by Applejack, this one is less practical and more fancy. Each bowl of soup is decorated with a fine garnish and looks almost too good to eat. Nonetheless, you eagerly scarf down the meal because of your burning hunger and gladly thank Rarity for the delicious supper.

What shall you do?

-Tell Ellaina about your adventure today.

-Ask Ellaina if she's been told about what happened to her. Maybe she forgot most of the experience?

-Talk with another party member (please write in).

-Go see Leicha and her brother.

-Get some magic lessons from Twilight or King Sombra. It would be best to let Ellaina rest for the time being.

-Other…

If you guys want to write something in to say/do that I might have forgotten then feel free.

>You and Harold make you way to Leicha and Schro who are both waiting in the same place you left them. Schro gives you an acknowledging nod while Leicha greets you with a rotten yellow smile from under her head wrappings.

>"Come to buy and trade?" she smiles as warmly as a skeleton can.

>"Among other things," you say as you hand Schro the alien weapon. "Think you can tell me how to charge this thing? Or are the batteries sold separately?"

>After a brief pause, Schro takes a piece of chalk and scribbled something on his chalk board before showing it to you. The board reads: "SOLAR POWERED WEAPON. CHARGE NEXT TO FIRE OR IN SUN."

>"A alien gun powered by sunlight eh? Thanks, Schro!" you smile down at the skeleton who gladly hands your weapon over.

-Get some magic lessons from Twilight or King Sombra.

-Add something to your journal.

-Upgrade wand with a Small Ruby (2 in your inventory).

-Other…

>You and Harold make you way back toward the camp fire when you decide to speak up.

>"I'm gonna go take care of some other stuff, Harold," you say.

>"'Other stuff?'" the warrior asks.

>"Yeah… magic stuff," you say before heading to your tent where nobody can hear you.

>Placing King Sombra's horn against your heart, you feel your two minds meet and soon hear the King's dark voice inside your head.

>"How are you holding up, King Sombra?" you ask.

>"I can still feel my soul fading with each passing day. You'll have to keep feeding my horn with more magic or else I will fade into oblivion in a matter of days. Even then it might not be enough to sustain me," King Sombra say, trying his best to hide his weakness.

What should you do?

-"Don't worry buddy! I'll give you a little magic right away!"

-"Isn't there something we can do? Maybe a magical ritual to revive you?"

-"That sucks. How about some magical lessons?"

-"You're becoming a real liability, Sombra."

-Other…

>"Isn't there something we can do? Maybe a magical ritual to revive you?" you ask.

>"Not at this time. You used your only Revival Bead to restore your woman's body to normal. Unless you can acquire another bead then I'm afraid you'll have to keep feeding me magic until we can figure out a way to restore my body, other than that there's only one other options," King Sombra says.

>"What's the other option?" you ask.

>"It's a form of black magic that you certainly wouldn't care for," Sombra says dismissively.

>"Can't you at least tell me what it is? I'd like to know what options we have on the table," you insist.

>"Very well. Just remember that you're the one who ask," King Sombra pauses. "The spell would require you to attach my soul to the body of another being, essentially killing the former owner and giving me a safe anchor to the mortal world," King Sombra says.

What do?

-"That could be arranged. I'll just have to find you a good host first."

-"Can you tell me more about this spell first? I'd like to know more before considering this option."

-"If that's our only other option then I'm just going to stick with finding another Revival Bead."

-"I'll certainly think about it. Just give me a little to think it over."

-"Not gonna happen! I'd never take another life just to keep you alive!"

-Other…

If you guys want to write in your own dialogue and reaction then that's cool. This is kind of a big choice so I'm going to require a consensus before proceeding.

>You kneel there with the horn against your chest as the possibilities fly past you like tiny stars and you're just entered light speed. On one hand, you could help King Sombra by giving him a new body even though such an act would involve basically murdering a pony. On the other hand, you could just keep exploiting King Sombra for a little more before having Leicha turn him into a new catalyst.

>"I'm going to think about this a little. I'm sure you understand that this is kind of a big deal," you say.

>"Very well," King Sombra says solemnly. "Just remember to feed my horn with magical energy every day to prevent me from fading away into nothingness."

>"I will," you nod before focusing the last of your magic reserves into the dead king's remains.

>The horn begins to glow with dark magic, its surface become smoother and more life-like to the touch. You feel yourself grow weaker as all the energy suddenly leaves your being, nothing a little rest can't fix though.

>"Shall I teach you more incantations as a reward for your loyalty?" the King say, a subtle hint of a smile behind his words.

>"That would be nice," you nod with a smile.

What two spells would you like to learn?

-Dark Hand [+2 Phys/Will Dmg, Steal Soul] (5 Magic)

-Mighty Dark Bolt [+5 Dark Dmg] (8 Magic)

-Ravage Insides [+2 Dmg Per Turn] (4 Magic)

-Implant Thought (15 Magic)

-Wither [+4 Dmg, Destroy Part on Crit] (10 Magic)

-Ghost Form (10 Magic)

-Hypnosis [+2 Will Dmg, Stun 2 Turns] (6 Magic)

-Strong Crystal Spike [+3 Dmg] (6 Magic)

-Mighty Crystal Spike [+4 Dmg] (8 Magic)

-Weak Damage Willpower [+1 Will Dmg] (3 Magic)

-Damage Willpower [+2 Will Dmg] (5 Magic)

-Strong Damage Willpower [+3 Will Dmg] (7 Magic)

We dark magic now.

Just remember that you must drain a targets Will before a spell like Implant Thought or Hypnosis can affect them.

>You feel the knowledge slowly enter you mind as King Sombra teaches you the two spell you desired to know the most.

>You have learned Mighty Crystal Spike and Dark Hand!

-Mighty Crystal Spike [+4 Dmg] (8 Magic)

-Dark Hand [+2 Phys/Will Dmg, Steal Soul] (5 Magic)

>"So what purpose does Hark Hand really serve? Why would I need to steal someones soul exactly?" you ask the king.

>"The Dark Hand spell is a simple hand gesture that will allow you to reach inside a beings very body and tear their soul out, damaging both their body and willpower. If the target expire while the spell is affecting them, their soul will be trapped inside and Soul Gems you might be carrying with you. If you lack a Soul Gem, their soul will simply leave their body in a frayed state," King Sombra explains.

>"So it guarantees that they're dead then?" you add.

>"Essentially, yes," the King says. "The souls you capture might actually have a use as well, just bring one to me and we'll see what we can do."

What should you do now?

-"What would I do with these souls anyway? Do these monsters even have souls?"

-"So what's your plan once you get your body back? Do you plan on taking back the Crystal Empire?"

-"I'm gonna go hang out with my friends now. Later, King Sombra." *head back to the camp fire*

-Other…

If you guys want to write in a question or something for the dead king then feel free.

>"So what's your plan once you get your body back? Do you plan on taking back the Crystal Empire?" you ask.

>"My plan was to retake the Crystal Empire but it would appear that Princess Celestia has already ensured a different future for the Empire, under her rule," King Sombra says.

>"Under her rule? Don't you mean under Princess Cadance's rule? She's the rightful heiress to the Crystal Empire's throne," you say.

>"Is that what you've been told?" King Sombra laughs. "Princess Cadance is nothing but another one of Princess Celestia's pawns sent to guard the Empire while Celestia continues to control the rest of Equestria."

>"What do you mean pawn? Princess Celestia seemed like such a kind and caring pony when I met her!" you exclaim before you can catch yourself.

>"All rulers have pawns that they use to further secure their future, I know that all too well. You should learn to be less trusting of ponies such as Celestia, alicorns such as them are not to be trusted," Sombra says.

>"And does that make me your pawn then? You're hardly asking for my help out of friendship," you narrow your eyes.

>"I've met many creatures in my time, Anonymous, very few that I could call my equal. You on the other hoof, you remind me of a younger me," King Sombra smiles nostalgically.

>"So are you saying that Princess Celestia is just using me and the others to further her own goals?" you ask.

>"Oh course, why do think she would send you on such a dangerous mission while she sits upon her throne?" King Sombra says.

What now?"

-"What would I do with these souls anyway? Do these monsters even have souls?"

-"What exactly entitles you to the throne?"

-"You make a fair point. I'll have to think more about this." *head back to the camp fire*

-"I'm not buying it. Princess Celestia is too radiant and kind to be a manipulative bitch."

-"I'm gonna go hang out with my friends now. Later, King Sombra." *head back to the camp fire*

-Other…

>"What exactly entitles you to the throne?" you ask.

>"A very bold question coming from someone such are yourself. But a fair question considering how this fact I'm about to impart on you has been lost to history," Sombra says with a hint of annoyance in his voice. Clearly bothered by a lowly plebeian questioning his right to rule.

>"Long ago, the ruling princess of the Crystal Empire met a handsome unicorn noble from Canterlot. Despite the princess already being engaged to another suitor, the two fell in love and ended up having a child together, one of the Crystal Empires most well kept and darkest secrets. That child was me," King Sombra pauses dramatically.

>That last line is what really floored you. If anything the king said is true, then that makes him the bastard son and possibly the first in line for the Crystal Empire's throne!

>"Upon discovering what happened, the princess' suitor stripped the unicorn noble of all privileges and titles before exiling him to the wastes of the Frozen North where it is believed that he parishes. I was allowed to stay in the Crystal Empire by the princess' wishes and raised by the castle servants. They gave me the best education available to a noble and I soon learned of my affinity for crystal magic. When I came of age I became the Empire's court mage and years later uncovered hidden records of my bloodline hidden deep within the depths on the Empire's archives," King Sombra says.

>"You must have been shocked, never being told of your heritage or even about your fathers fate," you say sympathetically.

>"Shocked would be putting it lightly. I imminently stormed into the throne room and confronted the princess with the documents. In my fit of rage the guards were forced to escort me from the castle until I could regain my composure," King Sombra says.

What do you say/do now?

-"What happened next? How did you end up taking the Empire back?"

-"That's pretty hard to believe. How do I know any of this is true?"

-"I still think Princess Cadance is more suited for the possession. She's an alicorn after all."

-"So where does the dark magic come in? Why did you start using dark magic?"

-"That's horrible! That throne is clearly yours!"

-"And interesting tale, but I got some other things to do." *put Sombra away and go back to the camp fire*

-Other…

>"What happened next? How did you end up taking the Empire back?" you ask.

>"After being escorted from the castle, I began to plot and build a small army of crystal golems to help me in my conquest of the Empire. When the time was right I attacked the castle and imprisoned my mother as well as her husband in the dungeon. I then hid the Crystal Heart inside the castle before using my small army to enslave the crystal ponies and force them all to work in my mines. It didn't take Princess Celestia and Luna long to respond with a small army which laid siege to my new Empire," Sombra explains.

>"I assume you expected the princess' to show up?" you say.

>"I most certainly did, I even expected them to bring a small army to take back the city. What they didn't expect was me to use the royal family and the entire Empire as hostages," King Sombra smiles wickedly.

>"So how did you they end up defeating you in the end?" you ask, curious to know the details.

>"I managed to hold them at bay for several long months before a small resistance of crystal ponies succeeded in sabotaging my defenses and gave the princess' the opportunity they needed to take the city," Sombra explains. "In all the chaos the two princesses managed to get the upper hand and succeeded in slaying me. What they didn't expect was for the entire city to be absorbed in a magical prison before being sent to the future."

>"So you single-hoofedly managed to thwart the princesses, their army, and a group of rebels for several months before being defeated in combat?" you ask, astonished by the fantastical tale of leadership.

>"Indeed I did. I might have succeeded too, if it hadn't been for those meddling crystal rebels," the King growls subtly.

What now?"

-"So what happened to the royal family when the Empire disappeared?"

-"Why didn't the princesses just use the Elements of Harmony to defeat you right away?"

-"That's pretty hard to believe. How do I know any of this is true?"

-"So where does the dark magic come in? Why did you start using dark magic?"

-"Thanks for tell me all this, but I got some other things to do." *put Sombra away and go back to the camp fire*

-Other…

>"Why didn't the princesses just use the Elements of Harmony to defeat you right away?" you ask skeptically.

>"The Princesses have always preferred to use the Elements of Harmony as a last resort. Not even they know much of the Elements or their true origins," King Sombra says.

>"That seems like a pretty vague excuse to explain away such a glaring plot hole," you quip.

>Looks like that's the best answer you're going to get for the time being.

>"Where did these Elements come from anyway? Did the princesses find them on a quest or something?" you ask.

>"The princesses did indeed find the Elements of Harmony while trying to restore Equestria to normal. With the coming of the chaos spirit Discord came much strife and madness. The Elements were the only thing powerful enough to imprison him and return our world to its natural state," King Sombra says.

>"So where did they find them?" you ask.

>"I actually had the pleasure of speaking with the princesses regarding the mysterious origins of the Elements but was told very little. They did tell me that they found them within the depths of the Everfree Forest within a massive cavern. Nothing more," Sombra sighs disappointingly.

What now?

-"So what happened to the royal family when the Empire disappeared?"

-"So where does the dark magic come in? Why did you start using dark magic?"

-"Where could I find out more about these Elements? They sound very powerful if they can imprison a chaos being."

-"So that's why you took the Elements from the train? You don't suppose there's a way to destroy them, do you?

-"Thanks for tell me all this, but I got some other things to do." *put Sombra away and go back to the camp fire*

-Other…

>"Thanks for tell me all this, but I got some other things to do," you say to King Sombra.

>"Very well. Just remember that my current state is a fragile one and I will require you to feed my remains with magic every day. If you're able to find a way to restore my body then it would be best to use it," Sombra says.

>"I won't forget," you nod before placing the ebony horn back in your pocket.

>After finishing your chat with the good king, you decide to see what the others are currently up to. All of them are currently sitting around the camp fire chatting about random things. Pinkie Pie appears to have steered to conversation towards the upcoming Nightmare Night and is inquiring about what the others intend on dressing as.

>"Well last year I was a chicken so I was thinking about sticking with the theme and going as a turkey this year, but then I thought about switching things up and maybe going as something noponies ever gone as before!" Pinkie says.

>"How about going as a human, Pinkie? I doubt anyone in Equestria's ever gone as one of us before," Ellaina smiles at the party ponies enthusiasm that just never seems to quit.

>"Oh! Great idea Lay Lay! I just hope that nopony else got the idea before me and decides to go as one too!" Pinkie say, looking back and forth suspiciously as if there might be a spy among the party.

>"How do you reckon you'd go about as a human anyway, sugarcube?" Applejack asks with a raised brow.

>"I could probably wear a wig and some clothing while walking around on the hind legs," Pinkie says as she gets up onto her hind legs and begins to wobble around awkwardly.

>"Seems a tad hard to keep your balance," AJ chuckles at her friend antics.

>"Well practice does make perfect!" Pinkie smiles positively.

>"How about you, Rarity? Ya'll plan on going out for Nightmare Night this year?" Applejack turns to her fashionable friend.

>"Nightmare Night is more of a foals holiday meant for the little ones. And besides, I'll probably be busy making costumes and actually giving out candy all night,"

>"Aww, come on, sugarcube. It'll be fun," Applejack nudges the mare playfully.

>"Hmmm, we'll see," Rarity smiles.

What shall you do?

-"Do you think you could make me a costume, Rarity?"

-"Do you think Maud will be showing up for Nightmare Night, Pinkie?"

-"Is anyone important going to be in Ponyville that night?"

-"How about you and Pinkie go as each other, Ellaina?"

-"We can talk about Nightmare Night another time, we have other stuff to talk about! (please write in new conversation topic).

-Ask one of the party members what they'll be going as.

-"It's getting late. How about we all head to bed and get some rest?"

-Other…

Writing in your costume ideas would be cool.

>"How about you and Pinkie go as each other, Ellaina?" you propose.

>"Great idea, Nony!" Pinkie smiles as she get back down on all fours. "I could get a red wig from Rarity and maybe some blue robes as well. It'll be perfect!"

>"Don't forget got stuff your bra a little," you grin causing Ellaina to blush subtly.

>"I suppose I could find a big pink wig like Pinkie's. Not too sure what to wear for clothing though," Ellaina says while resting a contemplative finger upon her chin.

>"I'm sure I can throw a little something together for you before Nightmare Night, dear," Rarity adds.

>"Thanks, Rarity. I can always count on you," Ellaina says, giving the fashionista a friendly hug.

>"I went as Starswirl the Bearded last year so maybe I'll go as his apprentice Clover the Clever this year. I already have a good idea what the costume would look based on the one I wore during that play we put on," Twilight smiles up from her book.

What now?

-"Do you think you could make me a costume, Rarity?"

-"Will Maud be showing up for Nightmare Night, Pinkie?"

-"Is anyone important going to be in Ponyville that night?"

-"We can talk about Nightmare Night another time, we have other stuff to talk about! (please write in new conversation topic).

-Ask one of the party members what they'll be going as.

-"It's getting late. How about we all head to bed and get some rest?"

-Other…

>"Is anyone important going to be in Ponyville that night?" you ask.

>"Princess Celestia's sister Princess Luna actually showed up last year to participate in the events, so maybe she'll show up this year too?" Twilight says.

>"Wait! You're saying that a princess came to your little town to participate in a celebration?" you ask astonishingly.

>"That she did," Twilight nods with a smile. "Princess Luna was grateful to us for freeing her from the control of Nightmare Moon and wanted socialize after being locked away for so long."

>"And you think she might show up again this year?" you ask with a raised brow.

>"It's certainly possible. I'm sure the two of you would get along just fine," Twilight smiles.

>"As long as he keeps his hands to himself," Ellaina quips.

What do?

-"I'll still need a costume for Nightmare Night. Think you could make me one Rarity?" (write in your costume ideas).

-"Will anyone else important be showing up?"

-"Interesting, but I'd like to talk about something else right now." (please write in new topic).

-"That's enough talk. I really need to hit the hay"

-"How about some party games to celebrate Ellaina partial recovery?" (you can choose something like Truth of Dare or even Spin the Bottle).

-Other…

>You give your tired muscles a good stretch and let out a long yawn before looking at all your friends who all look equally as tired as yourself.

>"I think that's enough for one day. I'm gonna go hit the hay," you yawn again.

>"You don't mind if I join you two?" Vinyl ask, stands up to face you.

>"I wouldn't mind at all, Vinyl. I still feel very chilly, even with all my winter clothing and could use the extra body heat," Ellaina smiles down at the DJ.

>"Nice! Let's get cozy!" Vinyl grins as she takes off toward your tent and disappears behind the flap.

>You and Ellaina say goodnight to the others and join Vinyl inside the tent where you find her wrapped up in her bed roll like a giant caterpillar.

>"So I guess its no 'sexy time' tonight, again?" Vinyl ask, a hint of disappointment in her voice.

>"Not tonight, Vinyl," you chuckle. "I'm sure we can make up for lost time once Ellaina feeling better."

>"Fine. Fine. But I'm gonna have to find some way to relieve myself before all this heat causes the entire mountain to melt," Vinyl say with with hind legs crossed in frustration.

>"I'm sure you'll think of something," you smile as you and Ellaina slide into the same bed roll and cuddle up next to Vinyl.

>The mare wasn't kidding. You can feel the heat from the mare's loins radiating through her sleeping bag.

>Despite the DJs blatant friskiness, you an Ellaina are able to peacefully drift off to sleep, your manly arms wrapped tenderly around Ellaina's waist as sleep slowly takes you…

>Your dreams are strange ones indeed.

>You dream of a large open cavern the walls of which are covered in those hideous alien carvings depicting the rise and fall of a nameless starfish headed race. The freezing air is filled with an incessant piping that grows louder with each passing moment until the eldritch crescendo comes to a abrupt stop.

>Suddenly the entire cavern begins to shudder, its floor splitting open to reveal a small abyss from which a glowing green goo emerges. Much like your other dream, the cavern roof is torn off effortlessly by some ungodly whirlwind which begins to rain bolts of lightning down from the blackened sky.

>Without hesitation you charge out of the cave as the electric arrows begin to lick and burn the green goo into nothingness. Following the only safe path, you come to a halt at the mountains peak, a white wind swept plateau which holds the treasure you've sought for so long withing a smoothly carved bowl of stone.

>Before you can reach the Ember the entire mountain begins to shake once again as something of colossal proportions begins to rise up above the mountains peak, staring down at you with two empty sockets that burn like a hellish saphirian furnace.

>Without warning you awaken with a start the next morning, your body coated in cold sweat as you try to piece together what you just witnessed.

>"These cryptic nightmares are really starting to ware me down…," you grumble to yourself upon noticing that there's nobody in the tent the hear you.

>Once you're dressed and ready to start your day you open the tent flap, you savor the scent of freshly make pancakes as well as the sound of friendly conversation. Smells like a good start to a typical day in Equestria.

Is there anything you guys wanted to do before heading back into the dungeon? Maybe something you want to equip to a party member?

>The others greet you with warm smiles as you slog over to your seat next to the fire and begin piling a bunch of pancakes onto your plate.

>"Are you all right, Anonymous? Did you have another one of your bad dreams?" Twilight asks you with a concerned look on her face.

>"Was it that obvious?" you ask the librarian.

>"Well, I did tell her about how you mumbled in your sleep last night," Ellaina speaks up.

>"Yeah, I should probably tell you everything I saw in detail just in case it comes up later," you say to Twilight who eagerly takes out a piece of parchment and quill with her magic.

>You begin to recount the entire dream in detail, from the carvings to the towering monster and its burning eyes. The amount of detail you give regarding the colossus is sparse but is still enough to send shivers down the spines of you companions.

>"So I guess we'd better expect something big waiting for us at the end of the dungeon huh?" Rainbow Dash says before smashing her hooves together. "I'm down!"

>"Let's try not to get carried away, Rainbow Dash. Remember the last time you tried to take on something fifty times your size?" Twilight shakes her head.

>"Yeah yeah, I think I learned my lesson from that encounter with the dragon, but this time we're not going in to negotiate! We gotta rush into that monsters lair wands blazing and hooves kicking!" Rainbow Dash grins as she takes to the air causing Twilight to roll her eyes with a small smile.

>"Anyway," Twilight says, trying to get the group back on track. "We should equip ourselves well for the fight ahead. It looks like this is the final stretch of the dungeon."

>"Sounds like a plan, sugarcube," Applejack nods.

>"I'm ready when you are," Vinyl grins as she plucks at the string of her bow with her magic.

>You roll the scroll up and place it inside your backpack in the event you need it again before gathering up your party. Twilight, Applejack, Harold, and Spike will be the ones to follow you into battle today while the others watch over the camp.

-Other…

>The party gathers its equipment and ventures into the depths of the dungeon, retracing its steps back to the foot of the massive stone door.

>You remove the alien key from your backpack and hold it up to the door which begins to glow a light blue at your approach. The purple key flies out of your grasp and embeds itself in the doors surface before slowly melting away into nothingness as if made from solid mercury.

>The room begins to quake as the doors unearthly locks come loose, the door rising with the help of the dungeons myserious inner mechanisms to reveal a massive pentagonal room. Flying above you is another one of those starfish headed aliens, using its membranous wings to awkwardly propel itself around the room as it pipes to an ungodly rhythm.

>Bellow the alien is a large crack in the dungeon floor which starts to glow an eerie green glow as something begins to bubble and slobber its way out of the fissure. The aliens piping is soon joined in my another, almost human chanting

>"GAK GAK GAK GAK GAK!" the green ooze intones as it slowly creepy toward the party with ill intent. "GAK GAK GAK GAK GAK!"

>You immediately recognize this giant green blob of slime as the same one from your dreams!

>"What in tarnation is that!?" Applejack exclaims.

>"Whatever that thing is, it looks hungry!" Twilight says, lighting up her horn with purple magic.

The battle is won!

>The mass of glowing green ooz goes limp upon the dungeon floor, its alien remains devolving into the cool air creating a thin steam.

>A large slab of stone on the dungeon ceiling slides away, light poring in through the newly opened passage. The floor immediately below the opening begins to rise to form a staircase leading upwards into the blinding light. It looks like the passage before you leads towards the mountains peak.

>You hear the sound of stone grinding against stone and turn your head to see a section of the right hand wall sliding away to reveal a small hidden room. Inside the room is a blue glowing crystal, the same kind of crystal you remember finding back in Ghastly Gorge. Could this be yet another healing crystal? How in Equestria did it even get here?

What shall you do?

-Follow the stairs toward the mountains peak.

-Touch the crystal and rejuvenate your party!

-Manage your equipment while you can. The fight isn't over yet!

-Talk with a party member.

-Other…

>You place the staff and gun in your backpack before giving each party member 2 Health Potions as well as 2 Strong Health Potions.

>The laser gun would appear to be the same model that you found and gave to Harold.

-Elder Thing Laser Gun [+5 Lightning Dmg] (15/15 Shots)

>"Are you guys ready? This looks like it's the end of the line," you ask the party members who all give you an affirmative nod.

>The party readies its weapons and begins to slowly scale the ice slaked steps, the sun shining brightly in your face as you steel yourselves for the inevitable fight ahead.

>After several minutes of walking you break free of the dankness of the dungeon and into the light once more. It quickly dawns upon you that this is the first time you've actually seen the sun in days as your eyes strain to regain focus in the blinding late afternoon sun.

>Before you is a large wind swept mountain peak just like the one from you dreams, though something is different this time. The stone bowl at the center of the plateau is encased in intertwined spikes of solid ice. Within the frigged prison burns the small sputtering Ember that you've been seeking for so long.

>"Figures that it wouldn't be easy," Spike crosses his arms.

>"We could always try melting the prison with with magic," you suggest.

>"Or maybe some ol' fashioned buckin'?" Applejack adds.

>Before the party has time to decide how to get to the Ember a mighty rumbling shakes the foundation of the mountain, almost knocking everyone off their feet/hooves.

>"W-What was that!?" Spike exclaims.

>"Did that mountain just move?" Applejack gestures to the one side of the plateau as she re-adjusts her hat.

>Everyone rushes toward the mountains edge and feels what little warmth is left in their bodies get sucked away by the towering horror in the distance.

>You watch in shock as a nearby mountain explodes and a colossal skeletal monster emerges from its bowels. As the thing stands it becomes clear that it towers well above the mountain you're currently standing on, its waist almost reaching the same height as the plateau. Chunks of ice and rock break free from its body as it takes its first horrifying step toward your mountain, the ground shaking with each unearthly stride.

>The titans burning blue eyes begin to scan the mountain range and soon zero in on your party. The monster lets out of mighty roar which causes the ground to shake and drifts of long dormant snow to come tumbling down the mountains edge in the form of chaotic avalanches.

>The party breaths a sigh of relief as the titan crumbles away into ash at the foot of the mountain. The sound of cracking ice causes you all to turn toward the Ember which has been freed from its icy prison.

>As Twilight comforts Spike you walk over to the sputtering flame, its warmth almost calling to you as you reach a hand out.

>"You reckon that's a good idea, sugarcube?" Applejack calls out before you have a chance to kindle the fire.

>"It's the only way we'll ever get any answers, Applejack. Just stand back while I take care of this," you smile at the mare who simply shakes her head before complying.

>As your hand makes contact with the dying flame you feel it sucking the energy from your body while at the same time invigorating your own in turn. The Ember slowing turns into a raging pyre as the warm swelling sensation grows in your core. As the sensation reaches its peak the world around you grows black, the last thing you hear is the sound of your party member calling out your name.

>You find yourself standing yet again inside the main chamber of the alien library. The room is still the same as ever with its many towering shelves lined with silver canisters and the cool mist that seems to emanate from the smooth floor.

>"Welcome back, Anonymous," the familiar voice of the Librarian echoing in your head once again.

>From a far doorway the Librarian slithers upon his cone shaped base toward you carrying a small glowing bead in its pincers.

>"You have done very well, Anonymous. I believe that you very well might be the one to reach the end of this journey, the first to do so in several millennia," the Librarian says as it hands you the small bead. "This is one of the few remaining, it is my gift to you in hopes that you'll be the one to fulfill the final wish of my people."

What questions would you like to ask now? You probably only have enough to for a few!

-"What was this final wish?"

-"Where are your people? Are you the last of your kind?"

-"What is the higher power that abducted me from Earth? What does the serpent biting its tail have to do with it?

-Other…

>"What is the higher power that abducted me from Earth? What does the serpent biting its tail have to do with it?" you ask.

>"The serpent biting its tail, or the ouroboros, is a common symbol back on your planet of Earth as well as many others. It is something embedded deep inside the consciousness of every sapient being across the omniverse," the Librarian explains.

>"But what does it mean? What does it have to do with this Higher Power you mentioned?" you ask, a hint of annoyance in your voice.

>"At some level or another, everything in our omniverse is aware of the great threat that lurks beyond our understanding. The ouroboros is a symbol of this great evil that goes by many names in your world; the Ouroboros, the Beyond One, Jörmungandr, the Great Serpent, all these names reference the same thing," the Librarian explains.

>"So this serpent is some sort of god? Is it the same one I saw in my dreams all those weeks ago?" you ask, not sure if you want to know anything else about this thing.

>"As I said before, the word 'god' is certainly applicable but it hardly scratches the surface of this beings true nature. The truth of this being is far beyond even the understanding of my races greatest minds," the Librarian says solemnly. "And yes, the thing you saw in your dreams was a vision of what will come to pass if you do not succeed."

What shall you ask now?

-"So my job is to kill an incomprehensible eldrich being? Is that it?"

-"Why did this being abduct us though? What could motivate such a mighty being to interact with ants such are ourselves?"

-"What was the final wish of your race?"

-"Where are your people? Are you the last of your kind?"

-Other…

>"Why did this being abduct us though? What could motivate such a mighty being to interact with ants such are ourselves?" you ask, still unsure of this begins motives.

>"For countless millennia, my kind have studied this fabled being in an attempt to understand its true nature. What we know for sure is that this is part of an ancient pattern that has been repeated countless times with no sign of ending. It has been our goal to end this cycle and bring peace to our omniverse once and for all," the Librarian explains, his ethereal voice lacing with a sense of duty and pride.

>"So you're saying that you don't have any substantial explanation for why it abducted me and the others?" you say skeptically.

>"Part of this ancient cycle involves the abduction of being from various worlds to have them, in a way, 'compete' to reach the final destination first," the Librarian explains further. "It is not uncommon for beings in similar circumstances to join together to reach this final destination."

>"So this is some sort of sick game to it?" you glare.

>"Not in the least. This being is beyond mortal emotions, some might even compare it to a tornado wreaking havoc across a country side, indifferent to anything that might get caught in its destructive path," the cone-like being explains further.

You can feel your dream fading! What should you ask the alien before returning to the waking world?

-"So my job is to kill an incomprehensible eldrich being? Is that it?"

-"This honestly doesn't make any sense, you know that, right?"

-"What was the final wish of your race?"

-"You wouldn't happen to have a third Revival Bead, would you?"

-"Where are your people? Are you the last of your kind?"

-"How can you help me defeat this serpent?"

-Other…

>"How can you help me defeat this serpent?" you ask.

>"For the time being, I will be giving you guidance and the locations of all the Embers. When the time is right, I shall show you the fruits of my peoples research," the Librarian says.

>You feel the world around you slowly dissolve into nothingness and you wake up in a large room with smooth crystal walls and many beds separated with purple blinds. It looks like you're back at the Crystal Empire and probably in some sort of hospital since you're pretty much naked, save for your underpants that is.

>Outside your room you can hear several familiar voices chanting among themselves as they slowly approach your room. The door to your far right slowly opens and you see Twilight Sparkle, Ellaina, Pinkie Pie, and Harold enter the room.

>"Nony! You're awake!" Pinkie beams before taking off toward you like a pink race horse and giving you a mighty hug.

>"Don't be too rough with him, Pinkie. Anon's still recovering from our little adventure," Ellaina laughs.

>"Whoops, sorry," Pinkie Pie blushes as she releases you from her bear-like hug.

>"You worry too much, Twilight. Our friend here has survived far worse than one of Pinkie's hugs," Harold says while giving you a firm pat on the shoulder.

>"Wait a minute, guys. How long was I out?" you ask, looking around at the party members.

>"You were out for more than a day. When you passed out we brought you back to the camp and had Fluttershy look you over before rushing back to the Crystal Empire," Twilight explains. "I know this isn't the first time this has happened to you but I didn't want to take any risks."

>"Thanks, Twilight," you smile.

>"I know you just woke up, but do you think you can remember anything while you were asleep? Did you has any visions?" Twilight asks in a concerned tone.

What shall you say?

-"That can wait until later. I'm hungry!"

-"I'd… rather not say."

-"I can fill you in on that later. I'd like to relax a little before going into the gritty details."

-"Okay, but you're not going to like it." *tell the others what the alien told you*

-Other…

>"I can fill you in on that later. I'd like to relax a little before going into the gritty details," you tell Twilight.

>"Fair enough. I'll be in the reading room if you want to talk with me. Your cloths and backpack are right here," Twilight says as she lays your stuff next to your bed with her telekinesis. "Don't sorry, I didn't go through your stuff."

>With a smile Twilight leaves the room and shuts the door behind her leaving you with Ellaina, Harold, and Pinkie Pie.

What shall you do now? Your options are pretty wide open and its a beautiful Friday morning.

-Head outside of the palace and explore the city.

-Go find a specific party member or even interact with Harold, Ellaina, or Pinkie Pie.

-Go see Princess Cadance and Shining Armor.

-Talk with King Sombra and see if he's still "alive".

-Explore the castle and look for fun and adventure with your friends.

-Other…

Your options are pretty open at this point so I'm cool with your guys writing things in.

>"Ellaina," you smile at your girl. "I know we've had some close calls recently but I can promise you that we're going to make it through this thing. We've probably got the biggest group of bad asses this side of the Equestria all working together toward a common goal."

>Your comment manages to crack Ellaina's sad expression with a tiny smile.

>"You sound so sure of yourself," Ellaina says.

>"It's hard not to be when you've go a strong pony like Applejack on your side, or even a princess' protege like Twilight," you say.

>"Or a handsome wizard such as yourself" Ellaina smile at you.

>"And especially with a beautiful sorceress like you," you smile back as Ellaina.

>Before the two of you can enjoy another passionate kiss, the door of the room flies open and Pinkie Pie arrives on the scene.

>"They found them! They found them!" the mare announces as if you already know what she's talking about.

>"They found what?" you ask the party pony.

>"The Elements of Harmony! The guards managed to find the Elements!" Pinkie cheers.

>"That's great news, Pinkie!" Ellaina says while stands up.

>"They're bringing them up to the throne room right now! Come on!" Pinkie says before taking off down the hallway.

>"I guess we can continue complimenting each other another time," Ellaina smiles. "Let's get going."

>While Ellaina's waiting at the door you quickly throw on your clothing and sling your backpack, making sure King Sombra's horn is still safe inside your pocket.

>You place your hand inside your pocket and feel the smooth, warm surface of the curved horn at the base you your pocket. The ebony spike shudders at your touch indicating that Sombra is still indeed alive.

>"All right, let's go," you say to Ellaina before making your way toward the throne room.

(Continue…)

>You and Ellaina follow Pinkie down the shimmering halls of the crystal palace toward the throne room. You quickly notice that the palace is now being patrolled by both royal guards as well as servants trying to restore the palaces former glory. Looks like Princess Cadance and Shining Armor are really adjusting well to their new positions as rulers of the Crystal Empire.

>Upon entering the throne room your find all your friends gathered before the throne upon which Princess Cadance is seated. Before the princess are two guards carrying a decently sized chest with a purple body, gilded with bands of gold, and studded with gems of various colors. It's so fabulous you wouldn't be surprised if Rarity herself designed the thing.

>"Anon!" Dayflower shouts as she darts toward you and gives you a little kiss on the nose. "I was so worried about you!"

>"Yeah, sorry about being out for so long. I hope I didn't miss anything while I was asleep," you rub the back of your head.

>"Not really. We've all just been sitting around and waiting for you to wake up. Ellaina must have spent every waking minutes by your side along with Spike," Dayflower says.

>"Spike? Really?" you ask with a raised brow.

>"You're surprised by that? Spike does kind of think of you as like an older brother or something like that. You really should talk with him once we're done here," Dayflower buzzes.

>"I'll keep that in mind," you nod.

>As soon as you and Dayflower are done chatting, Princess Cadance has the guards open the purple chest to reveal five golden necklaces and a tiara, each with their own unique gem. You quickly notice that each of these gems resemble the cutie marks of both Twilight Sparkle and her five best friends. These must be the fabled Elements of Harmony.

>You feel King Sombra's horn shudder in your pocket. Is that fear you sense?

>"Thanks to the valiant efforts of my royal guards, the Elements of Harmony are now safely back in the hooves of Equestria as well as the ponies who bear them," Princess Cadance smiles. "The walk back to Ponyville is a little long so I suspect you'll require a train."

>Princess Cadance smiles again at the little joke before continuing again. "I can have the royal train ready whenever you would like, I'd be more than happy to provide a safe trip home for the heroes of the Crystal Empire."

When do you guys want to head back to Ponyville? You can head out right away, in the afternoon, tomorrow, etc. It's really your choice.

Keep in mind that it's Friday morning and Nightmare Night is this Sunday.

>"Leaving in the afternoon would be best. We can take care of any remaining business we might have here and be back in Ponyville in time to prepare for Nightmare Night," you say.

>"That sounds like a good plan," Twilight nods with a smile. "I was hoping to explore the Empire a little before returning to Ponyville."

>"Oh oh oh! Is there a gift shop!?" Pinkie Pie asks the princess with a raised hoof.

>"Uhh, well the Empire is still being restored after returning for the first time in a thousand years so I'm not sure it does," Princess Cadance say, taken aback by Pinkie's spontaneous question.

>"It's okay, I'm sure I'll find it," the party pony smiles.

>"I'll be heading into town to have my gear worked on if you're interested in joining me, Anonymous," Harold offers.

>"Just be back at the palace around 5:00 so I can see you off," Cadance smiles.

What shall you do now?

-Interact with a party member.

-Talk with Twilight privately about what the Librarian told you. The others might not want to hear the disturbing truth.

-Find a quiet room to bone Ellaina in, or Vinyl, or both.

-See what the other party members are doing, maybe hang out with them?

-Head down town with Harold and Rarity to do some shopping.

-Add something to your Quest Journal.

-Other…

You guys are in a massive city and you options are pretty open. Go crazy!

>"How about we head to the shopping district together?" you ask both Harold and Rarity.

>"I'd be more than happy for two fine gentleman such as yourselves to accompany me," Rarity smiles.

>"Great! Let's get going!" you nod.

>As you, Rarity, and Harold make your way to the shopping district you make sure your journal is all updated.

>"Find the next Ember in the Crystal Mountains!" has been completed.

>The three of you enter the marketplace which seems to be more active than the last time you were there. Looks like the crystal ponies are just itching to get back to their regular lives.

What shall you do?

-Visit the local smith again. Maybe you can buy back your bucket helmet?

-Check out the general store for basic supplied.

-Go into the apothecary and get some potion ingredients.

-Search the area for a stag shop. Maybe you can spice up your sex life?

-Add something new to your journal before you forget.

-Search the area for adventure!

-Look for a specific store (write in the name here).

-Other…

>>155533

The meteorite helmet, dragon scale helmet, and unobtainium helmet were a mistake. Just pretend you saw nothing. Nothing!

Let's also pretend the blacksmith bought your helmet from the general store owner, or something.

>>155546

Are you looking forward to anything specific on Nightmare Night or just looking forward to the goofing around?

I can add more smut too but just having Anon finger bang Ellaina and Vinyl before cumming inside them can get pretty boring. If you guys have any fetish suggestions then I cool with it as long as it isn't piss/scat/diaper stuff. Otherwise I'm going to just get creative on my own.

>>155534

…ok, son.

Also, use a Crystal Chunk from the packpack on Harold's axe.

>>155551

How about convince Ellaine to use the genderbender ring on Vinyl Scratch so she can taste the hot sweet horsecock. Anon can give a try as well, after all is not gay if is coming from a mare. …you can ignore that part if you want.

>You purchase your precious bucket helmet and hug it while promising never to sell it again. Everything is now right in the world, aside from you being in another dimension that is.

>Rarity simply raises a brow at this odd display of affection and has the smith improve her rapier and shield.

>With that taken care of you, Rarity, and Harold say goodbye to the smith and make your way toward a small shop that sells cinnabons. Rarity is more than happy to buy you one since your stomach is growling from a lack of breakfast and you need to save you shekels for later. After the three of you receive your sweets you all sit down at a table and watch the crystal ponies as they go about their day like nothing monumental happened recently. Harold doesn't seem to understand what a cinnabon is.

>"Such lovely coats," Rarity sighs almost romantically.

>"You wish you had a shimmering coat like that, Rarity?" you ask, already fully aware of the answer.

>"Oooh I do! I really do!" Rarity's eyes sparkle. "Just imagine the designs I could weave to compliment such lovely coats!"

>"You mean like my robes? Maybe you can find some equally sparkly material?" you suggest.

>"An excellent idea! I'll have to collect enough to make an entire ensemble!" Rarity smiles, her head buzzing with all sorts of fancy dress designs.

What shall you say?

-Find out more about Rarity's romance life. Maybe she has her eyes one a stallion?

-Gossip with Rarity about the others (please write in).

-Ask about your Nightmare Night costume (please post suggestions).

-Get tips from Rarity on how to please mares/ladies, sexually or not.

-Eat in silence before heading off (you can go and do whatever you want at this point with whoever you want).

-Ask how Sweetie Belle is doing. Hopefully she's doing fine after you…

well, yeah…

-Other…

Feel free to be creative. Character interaction can be both fun and entertaining.
